Episode 2: What Even is Alignment?

Mental Health Awareness: You're part of your community

In this episode, Capri talks about mental health awareness using things like check‑ins and dashboard lights ... the regular stuff that lets you know something might need a little attention. She gets into how our signals show up, how clusters can help us understand what’s going on, and why none of it has to feel scary or dramatic. “sit with yourself like you would a friend.” It’s a short simple episode about noticing yourself, noticing your people, and remembering that you too are a part of your community.

Episode 6 Walking to Alignment

In this episode, Capri breaks down how her Extra Soft 75 walking regimen, her counseling work, and a new research study all lined up perfectly at the end of Stress Awareness Month and Counseling Awareness Month, right before Mental Health Awareness Month begins. She talks about how movement helps regulate big emotions in real time, why walking absolutely counts as exercise, and how consistency has been quietly shifting her stress threshold, her schedule, and her overall sense of alignment. Capri also shares her long‑term vision for the Minding My Alignment podcast and group... a future retreat‑style space in a beautiful location where people can find alignment together and then return home with tools to maintain it. Study referenced: A year‑long clinical trial published in the Journal of Sport and Health Science found that participants who met standard aerobic exercise guidelines (around 150 minutes per week) showed lower long‑term cortisol levels... meaning the participants baseline stress response improved over time. The study suggests that regular movement provides both immediate stress relief and lasting physiological resilience.

Growing pains: The Bloom Episode

In this episode, Capri talks about her first experience trying a probiotic drink and how her body had a slight adjustment period that turned into a long night. She explores the idea of growing pains, both in wellness and in life, and how trying new things can feel uncomfortable at first but still be part of intentional growth

Is It ADHD, Or is it Life... ?

In this episode, Capri sits with a question many people have been asking lately: “Is this ADHD…" or is something else going on? During Stress Awareness Month and counseling awareness month, she explores how stress, executive overload, anxiety, and even outgrowing your surroundings can mimic ADHD symptoms. ADHD is absolutely one of the possibilities, but not the only one. Capri shares how these patterns show up in real life, how they can overlap, and why slowing down matters before jumping to conclusions. This episode is a grounding reminder that your symptoms are information, not a verdict.

Episode 3: Stress & Q2 Check in

This episode is my first official quarterly check in. I planned it when I created my life schedule at the start of the year, and that schedule worked long enough to show me it works if I work it. Since April is Stress Awareness Month, this felt like the perfect time to pause and look at what worked, what did not, what fell off, and so far the first thing on my Q2 list, is simply finding my schedule again and putting it back in place. The fact that this check in was on that original plan, and I am here doing it, tells me I'm still in the plan. If you have been moving with good intentions but inconsistent follow through, this is your reminder that you can pause, reset, and come back to what you created without completely starting over.
